Goverfion drew up the mainland chip maker

Groffield hopes to lay a solid foundation on the 28-nanometer process in the Chinese chip market. With the rapid rise of mobile chip makers in mainland China, the demand for 28-nanometer (nm) process is increasing. However, only a few fabs in the world can provide relevant production capacity, and most of them have been first packaged by US-based IC design manufacturers. Development is blocked. Therefore, through its early research and development cooperation and guaranteed capacity supply strategy, Globo has actively wooed chip vendors in mainland China and successfully grabbed customers such as Rockchip.

Mike Noonen, Global Vice President of Global Business Marketing and Design Quality at Groover, believes that foundries must have the capital, technology, partners, and customer base to successfully advance into advanced generations.

Mike Noonen, Global Vice President of Global Business Marketing and Design Quality, said that the R&D capabilities of IC designers in mainland China have significantly increased recently. Even the technical strength of the first-tier manufacturers and the U.S. and Taiwan-based chip makers are rapidly closing. Detonate advanced process import requirements. However, as of now, there is still a gap between the supply and demand of 28-nanometer process, and mainland Chinese manufacturers are often unable to obtain sufficient production capacity from TSMC, so they have turned to seek a second source of supply and encouraged Groffield to fully devote its efforts to the layout.

As IC design companies in mainland China focus on the local brands and the White Label mobile device market, they are extremely demanding on product prices and market speeds. Therefore, fabs must grab the opportunity to obtain this business opportunity. Complete and flexible technical support.

Chen Ruozhong, vice president of Greater China Greater China, stressed that for chip makers in China, most of the foundries only provide integrated advanced process services. The small negotiation space and the inability to ensure production capacity will increase the investment burden and risk. ,Glofontaine has reformed its business model and proposed the Concept of Foundry 2.0. Through the early R&D cooperation and flexible adjustment process platform, it will meet the special needs of IC design in Mainland China and win more customers.

Recently, Ruixin Micro, one of the top five chip makers in Mainland China, has switched from TSMC (40nm cooperation) to cooperate with Grofont, using its 28nm high dielectric metal gate (HKMG) process to deploy a new generation of Multi-core tablet processor. Chen Ruozhong disclosed that this cooperation plan was launched as early as 2011, which is the best proof of the Foundry 2.0 business model; currently, there are also several advanced process cooperation cases being promoted in the region, and it is expected to be the company in the future. The 28-nanometer production line brought more revenue.

Noonen emphasized that the Foundry 2.0 model is compatible with the advantages of integrated component manufacturing (IDM) and pure foundry, and can closely cooperate with IC designers at the early stage of chip development to achieve customized requirements, especially for the need for advanced process technology and As for Chinese chip makers supported by capacity, this production plan will be a quick way to reduce investment risks and quickly upgrade product specifications. It is expected that more companies will adopt it, which will help Groover expand its foundry in mainland China. City accounted for the map.

Chen Ruozhong added that Chinese brands such as Huawei, ZTE, and Lenovo are rising at an astonishing rate, and local chip makers have laid a solid foundation in the white-living mobile device market. It is estimated that 2013-2016 will become the growth of foundry shipments. The largest source of power, and the number of wafers shipped in the region will also double, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will reach double digits.
